Only on the BBC could this story be deemed important news




The third lead story on the BBC's Middle East news page is that 'Chilean authorities arrest an Israeli tourist on suspicion of negligently causing a massive forest fire in the country's south.' This 'news' story is actually from the Latin America section of the BBC news website, but the BBC deem it so important a story that it features on the Middle East section as well. 

What possible reason could the BBC have for  promoting this story, other than wanting to portray Israel and Israelis in a negative light as often as possible?
